With the madness of all those dramas premiering and teasing and promo-ing these days, I’m not entirely sure that these are the first stills we’ve seen from Park Shin-hye’s new drama, but I think they just might be. I also have a hard time figuring out what to call this drama, whether it’s the old title Festival (which is the one that stuck in my head, unfortunately), the new one You’ve Fallen For Me (which is a little unwieldy to say), or the new English-language one Heartstrings.
Whatever you call it, trust that it’ll attract a decent youth following with its two leads, Park and her You’re Beautiful co-star/lovesick swain Jung Yong-hwa. At least that’s the hope. There’s also the “Dream High at college” premise to appeal to the fans of that show, as the characters pursue their dreams in the performing arts while, of course, also falling in love (and into love triangles) and all that drama good stuff.
The young cast also features Woori (Crime Squad) as a rival, and Jung’s CN Blue bandmate Kang Min-hyuk (who was so cute but sadly not-so-great-with-the-painfully-awkward-acting in It’s Okay, Daddy’s Girl). Lee Hyun-jin was recently in the daily drama Good Day For the Wind to Blow, but I remember him more as the young gay student in Boy Meets Boy.
And for those of us who like our drama eye candy a little older (say, out of jailbait territory), there’s Song Chang-eui as a famed musical director-producer, and Jung Seo-won (Secret Garden stuntman) as his Number 2.
As for these stills, which were filmed on May 16 at Seoul Fine Arts University: Park plays the role of Lee Kyu-won, for which she cut her hair, whose look is characterized as “comfortable and trendy.” Also pretty and girlish, which is a nice change after seeing her dressed as a boy (albeit a fashion-forward idol one) for the bulk of her last drama. (Although, really: Nobody really thought she looked boyish, right?)
You’ve Fallen For Me is a Wednesday-Thursday drama on MBC, and will premiere on June 29.

I’m so looking forward for this drama.
so excited to watch shin hye and yong hwa in this drama!!
me too! he’s the favorite no. 2 guy that the fans also wants to get the girl in You’re Beautiful. At least it’s a dream come true albeit on a different kdrama =)
my 2nd lead love feels so rewarded by this drama lol. happy happy happy!
YESSSS YESSSSSSS YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!! =D =D =D
Park shin hye is Super pretty but sometimes she reminds me of a bunny rabbit- deer in the headlights hybrid >.< (an adorable one ofcourse)
I think its because i recently marathoned YAB and mi nam is still fresh in my mind!
I' might give this a try if only to see Yonghwa get the girl!
yeh, for some reason “Festival” pops into my head whenever this drama is mentioned. I still can’t associate the official “You’ve Fallen for Me” with it. I guess that’s what happens when production gets greedy with drama titles…
and that’s one long skirt she’s got there.
I thought it was a blanket in the second still……and then I saw the fourth one and well…….wow that’s one weird-looking long skirt…
Same for me.. I thought it was a blanket until the full shot… I groaned as the coordination between the T-shirt and the blanket long dress…
i love to see Shin Hye and Yonghwa 2gether….cant wait for june or should i say july since it will air on the 29th of june..
I love Park Shin-hye. She’s really impresed me in YAB, so curious her acting with Yong-hwa, hope as well as in YAB. Cant hardly wait to see their chemistry. Fighting unnie!
Yups yups, I am really admiring Park Shin Hye alot because she’s nearly at my age (she’s older about 6 months than me — She’s 22 and I will be 21 later), heheh!
I am soo excited that I will be watching this drama (on June 29) because of PSH and JYH, wooot wooot! =D =D
ah i m soo anticipating this drama! Even thought i only supported the OTP in YAB bt i cant help being attracted to this drama! PSH looks adorable in these pics! Cant wait fr yong hwa’s pics to come out!
PSH lukzz adorablee!!!luvv her!!PSH fightingg!!!!
While watching the pictures it just popped out “isn’t shinhye left handed??” Bt in the picture above she is using her right hand lol
shin hye’s ambidextrius, she can used both her right and left hand..
how blessed she is. if one hand is tired in writing, she can use the other.
LOL..u’re right… XD
Park Shin hye lookS so pretty and lovely even with No make up and simple style….I really love her..Shinhye Fighting!!!
shinhye’s so gorgeous…pink is so good for her.. she looks natural beauty..OMG no make up?????
beautiful…
sooo very beautiful…
shinhye hwaiting !!!!!
tq jb
I am glad long skirt is now in fashion !.
This totally makes me love pink-grey combination more. So pretty.
Why the guys in classroom r not looking at her?. She is so Beautiful.
Oh, man when I saw the word ‘will premiere’ felt like choking ^^ Currently on five dramas a week(live), no time for national tv!
I’m not a fan of these two but I’m very happy for their fans because it’s really rare in the kdramaland that actors who have worked together before will be a lead in a new drama!! How AWESOME is that??
))
Yeah, pretty awesome:)
And now if only Yoo Ah In and Park Min Young were leads in a new drama…
you mean yoo ah in and song joong ki, right?
She must’ve meant those two lovely boys..
thank u Yo..yeah it’s so awesome…
Comfortable and trendy? Really? Are tucked in shirt, long skirt and tennis shoes together trendy? I guess I missed the note on that one.
if you’re in the 30s don’t dare wear that; neither if your a teapot (short and stout) it will be a fashion disaster.
u r just envy aren’t u? kekekeke
pretty shinhye makes people envy…love it !
This is what’s gonna make my summer <3
i honestly cannot wait
there are some intereting dramas coming up
OMO…i love shinhye’s look here..so refreshing to look at..so pretty even with no make up…looking forward to pix with YH, cant wait for their already…im excited, shinwoo will finally get minam, kekeke
i prefer shin hye with geun suk though. they look more compatible, dun u think so?
umm, i’m actually really excited for this one. tired of the darcy type? sure. but i’m a sucker for it anyways. ^^ plus, i love park shinhye. hope they deliver!
Lee Hyun-jin?!?!?! SPAZZZZZ i wish he’d get the girl once. at least he got the boy before hah.
that long skirt looks terrible
long skirts are back! whether we like it or not. fashion revival.
don’t dare though if you’re short and shout.
dont know with u, but for me long skirt looks simple, more polite, but still bold…
i always use long skirt..^^
Only name that perked my interest was Jung Seo-won, the Secret Garden stuntman. Good to see him in another drama.
Wasn’t she to do a Taiwanese drama? or was it pulled because of anti Korean feeling that sweeps over the Chinese countries from time to time?
she did. hayate the combat butler will be shown in taiwan in late June 2011. + green days (animation) in Korea. + heartstrings, also in korea this june too.
Shin Hye is adorable. Will definitely watch this drama!
I love her fresh and natural look here.
she looks so refreshing!
no wonder uhm tae woo proposed marriage to her when they worked together in cyrano.
She looks adorable. :3 Honestly I am sincerely hoping JYH’s character is something different from in YB. While I liked him well enough, his acting and being the typical Silent Idiot of the drama didn’t impress me. But from the character descriptions we’ve gotten of him as a more arrogant type, I’m hoping he’ll offer up something different from an acting stand point. Perhaps actually have some facial expressions. Maybe then I’ll actually root for them unlike last time. <_<
I can’t help but get excited AND worried at the same time with each new news about this drama
From the looks of it, Shin Hye appears to be playing the typical ULTRA innocent and super naive girl. (horrible horrible dress/long skirt btw lets admit it)
As for Yong Hwa being the typical “cold” and arrogant guy, you really need to add some personality and a bit of humor to these roles otherwise they’ll end up being emotionless boring trainwrecks (Shin Woo anyone?) At least Hwang Tae Kyong in YAB was also funny and had a distinct personality. I wonder if Yong Hwa can pull this off? Even if he could, this drama is being labeled as a melodrama, so i doubt there’s much room comedy?
I know it’s too early to be judging, but these are just my paranoid suspicions as I really want this drama to succeed
I just hope the characters wont be so black and white, good/evil. Especially Shin Hye, I’ve had it up to here with super innocent and naive (STUPID) girl leads….seriously i hope Shin Hye will show some balls against her female rivals (whom i also hope wont be so evil for no apparent reason)
I’m counting down the daysssssssssssss…..i can’t help but miss our sweet SH…and with YongHwa too…ooohh….
i can’t wait till it’s already June!!!
Fighting!!! Love HeartString as the new English Title!!!
Well, i love Shin Hye…and even when i wasn’t shipping for yong-hye in Yab. He will always have my support, he was in yab and i loveeeeed ,and still do, that drama. So i expect this one will be on my must watch list!!!
i thought sb might mention it, but her look is almost identical to XIAN Qing’s in iswak. I hated her clothes, but then i got used to them and started to like them. Same here, it’s Shin hye, so she can wear whatever she pleases, she’s still great.
waaah! she looks pretty with her barely there make-up or is she not wearing make-up at all?
jeez,,, i’m so excited to watch this series!
shin hye is so beautiful even without a make up!
i´m going to see this for sure but omo! her clothes are really ugly xD
Cant wait for the show to be released!
Ooooh, I love her since I first saw her in that drama “Stairway to Heaven” and “You’re Beautiful”, yups! =)
Wow, she seems very healthy and refreshing with her natural beauty without her makeup — OOOH, I LIKE THAT! =D Keep it up, girl! Oh, riggghhtt…….I will be rooting for Jung Yong Hwa, tooo! ^_______________^
Let’s hope her character’s fashion taste evolves as she falls for YongHwa’s character. Not liking the long skirt thingy. Looking forward to this drama though.
I love shin hye the best growing actresssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss <3
i jus hope geun suk can be in tis drama instead of yonghwa. sigh……………………
Hello
My dearest park shin hye!
How are you going? In recent weeks, when I searched your name from Google engine site, I heared a bad news about you! As if you encountered with a car accident. I became so worried. But fortunately I heared that accident was inconsiderable. So ,I became too happy from this news! I expect you never face with disasters alike car accident,…
I extremely love you!
I severely love your acting in Tree heaven series!
I like you so good play in stairway to heaven series too.
I will become so glad, if I be informed about your daily work, leisure times,…!I will become so happy, if you have email relationship with me at least!
I wish I could meet you directly in near future!
My dearest park shih hye!
In recent months I have tried a lot for coming to Korea. Because I want to pass traineeship courses,… in Korea. I want to recreate in korea.i want to work in korea,…I want to part from my so intolerable brother. his toleration is Herculean task!
As I said before I have suffered a lot in my country from last years.
I am a free thinker person. So a lot of malicious, ignorant, narrow minded groups of people hate me because of my especial independent thought. Even they like to torment me too. They have deprived most of my primitive rights for years. They have taken my so golden times for years. They killed my parents by gradual torture too. They have broken down one of my brothers mental and physical system for years too. They intend to kill him soon as well, I guess!
They have committed a lot of so terrible crimes against us for long years.
In my past emails I hinted them a little.for instance,they made blind my father, they tortured my mother for long years skillfully. They killed my mother finally by medical instruments. They made sick one of my brothers to different diseases. for a lost years he has affected to psycho- sexual trouble. He is 49.his sexual repressed instinct has pressurized him severely. And he emptied all of his cumulative repressed instincts to his parents so cruelly, especially to his mother.his remedy was marriage in his adolescence times at least. but I live in one of the worst countries. Any way the satanic sects intended to impose different calamities to us proficiently. although some of persons indirectly say me that the origin of calamities about us return to pre-revolution era in Iran(I mean in Pahlavi kingdom dynasty).but these kind of justifications aren’t acceptable completely. the satanic sects have made me stay at home on so nonsense reasons! because they want to expel me from Iran capital,Tehran practically! They want to force me that I convert my so brilliant ideologies (I mean humanistic and hedonic ones).I never change my ideologies. But I live in a satanic, barbaric country. My living can generalize to other oppressed groups of people too. Can you find these groups of people in Korea? My dear! I severely abhor from traditional, middle ages customs, norms, and ideologies! but in my country ,if any oppressed person alike me be free thinker, he lose a lot of his primitive rights. as if he lived in mine field! any moment it may he is exposed by different calamities! I promise you that my country is a real hell! since my country has located in one of desert regions, all of his moral principles is affected from its especial weather. I meanwhile my country crude resources is one of the main barriers lack of civil society. even religious and irreligious schools in my country transmute to their worst approaches. On the other of hand a lot of external factors don’t let my country be developed. The external factors like the middle east countries be confused. because the foreigners can misuse from middle east resources easies in those conditions. The worst fundamentalism ideologies, hereby religious ones,mashroom in these countries. Different so poisonous and dangerous suppositious thoughts emerge in these countries. most of so brilliant human achievements are banned in these countries. especially in Saudi Arabia and Iran. The reincarnated belief is so important in these countries .and these kind of especial religious thoughts have destroyed these countries.
Although I have a humanistic and hedonic ideologies, but I personally believe on religions mission must be in service of humans not humans must be service of religion! this matter is so important. Because a lot of so terrible crimes and felonies perform by religious groups of people in these countries,especially iran!why?because most of Iranian and other middle east countries people haven’t understood and distinguished bad and good religions one another. That is why some of misled religious sects think they are representative of god and they must commit the worst crimes in the name of god! They kill, sicken,…others in the name of god! they deprive most of people primitive rights in the name of god! They make wretched others in the name of god! They show satanic face of religion in these countries! These matters can generalize to other despotic irreligious thoughts in these countries too. For example in Iran was law of jungle in pre revolution era too. As if a little so bastard, knavish, philistine, insane groups of people supposed they were god!
Although our world situation isn’t good too and law of jungle can generalize to world society too.
I believe on since you live in one of so better countries than middle east countries, then you can show these societies so bitter facts clearer and freer !yes! you can go beyond of red lines of middle east countries norms by art language! For example you can introduce all of criminal gans,…indirectly at least. you can introduce that who persons made blind my father and tortured my parents, especially my so painstaking mother,…!Korean artists can be so useful for world society!
My dear park shin hye!
I meekly demand you read my past autobiography and give them to your media,…!
Don’t let my mom and dad,…bloods be trampled easily!
A lot of Iranian people ignorantly and deliberately justify all of satanic sects so disgusting crimes with this sentence? Come on drink too!?
It refers to tea ceremony in Hong Kong districted that has annexed to china country recently!
My dear park shin hye!
I live in one of the worst regions. I mean Middle East! Middle East countries have a lot of petroleum, gas and other natural recourses. So! In these countries civil society and secular and democratic systems don’t form easily. The internal and external factors don’t let these countries be developed! You can see humane right have violated in these countries. On the other hand middle east countries weather are dry. The amounts of rain in these countries are so little. And these countries aren’t similar Far East countries from these angles at all.
These factors cause these countries religions, customs, folks ,…be so backward and detestable! And secularism, democracy, human right be align words. These countries have suffered east despotism from ancient times! dance,erotic songs,..are taboo among common people unfortunately. Especial these so terrible,detestable matters have seen in the countries alike Iran and Saudi Arabia too more unfortunately!
I have tolerated some of so bad imposed catastrophes in my country too. In the past, in my autobiography I hinted them relatively.
I plan to learn and practice different musical instruments,…in my lifetimel! I wish I could go around of world in my living length! I will become so glad, if I meet you and my other favorite actresses, in Korea too!
I wish I could live in your neighborhood!
I love you so much! I love my so dear actresses such as song yu ri,yoo in young,lea young ae,ha ji won,kim tae hee,han ye seul,…a lot! I love your co workers in heaven tree series especially, Maya and mika so much! I love haina in sad love stories series a lot too! I love a lot of Korean actresses,…so much! I don’t remind their name now!
I hereby kiss and smack them from far distance! Send my lovely message to them a lot!
My dear park shin hye!
I wish I could marry with you! But I have heared you have a fiancée! Congratulation!
I wish I could marry with your other family members alike you! And I wish I could marry with the other girls alike you!
I expect I could see you in korea ,..!I wish I could I come Korea regularly in my longevity!
I wish I could be your neighbor,…too!
Send my deep greet to your male coworkers in heave tree series ,I mean senior rio and oppa too!their play were so good! In meanwhile send my deep greeting to Mr song il gook too. He has came Iran several times hitherto. Send my deep greet to other Korean so lovely actors too. In my past emails I alluded to the name of some of them.
By the way what means oppa from Korean to English? It seems oppa mean brother. But I heard in some of series that the female called her lover, friend,…to oppa too!
My dear park shin hye!
I necessarily am in home. Because the criminal gangs intend to kill my brother soon too. On the other hand my brother toleration isn’t impossible! Because his mental system has broken down! Because the satanic sects gave an electuary to him too.
Any way I expect I can get rid of from these so bad imposed catastrophes as soon as possible! Because I have a lot of so different plans,wishs,…for my future!
Any way I am so happy that your car accident haven’t injured to you!
I wish you be so happy, successful and healthy in your praise worthy future ages!
My dearest!
I wish I could see you forever directly!
I expect I could come korea many times in my longevity!
I wish I could come Korea in current conditions too. But I have no familiar in south Korea! Because I need to an official invitation from Korea. I wish I could pass traineeship courses ,..in korea too!i expect I can find a proportional job in Korea too.i don’t like pure economy. I have a lot of so extracurricular plans for my future. in the past email I hinted them.
My dearest!
I farewell you temporarily!
I kiss and bear hug you with extreme love!
I hope I hear a lot of so glad news about your future successes!
I love you!
Your sincerely
